Nirvana Smiley Shirt - Wild Oats Early to Mid 90's, Mint

Assuming this is worth a few bucks.. Shirt says 1992 but bought this shirt in what should be late 1993 or early 1994 - dating it by where I lived at the time.
I was in elementary school, and my parents didn’t know about the “Flower Sniffin, Kitty Pettin, Baby Kissin Corporate Rock Whores” on the back!
So.. I wasn’t allowed to wear it and it was taken away. I eventually got it back.. but wasn’t allowed to wear it so I kept it hidden for my entire childhood, never worn once. I don't think they knew I took it back. But it was stashed inside some other shirts in the drawer.
Having a hard time dating a 100% Oats Wild Oats tag..Size Large. Seems like they're more mid-90s but hard to find, but dating back to the house I lived in, I moved in 94..so 1994 would make the most sense.
Kept in a drawer in my closet at my parents house for 20+ years (over three-ish moves) and then I took it when they moved and it’s been hanging with my suit in a suit bag in my closet.
I want to keep it, but too perfect to wear it.
Clearly never worn..but some of the image is cracking a bit at the same time. No dry rot (unless that’s what the *very slight* cracking on the logo is! Which you can see in the photos)
Don’t think I can part with it, but also got some big expenses at the moment so may eBay if the price is right..
Measurements in the photos too..
What’s it worth? Or worth holding onto?
